The Southwest Tollus Company (STC) announces two new agreements, effective
now. First, we have signed a Treaty of Mutual Aid with the Greater
Northern Atnos Traders (GNAT) who seem destined to rule Atnos to the west.
Secondly, we have signed a Trade Treaty with the House of Lords (HoL) who
rule Cragstan. Along with our long friendship with TIBs, these treaties
and alliances will hopefully bring our peacful lands closer together, and
dissuade any of the Imperially minded alliances from attempting to violate
our sovreignty.

Greetings Olympians and a special hello to all Drassans.

If you are in the northwestern region of Olympia, please
take a moment to look at our web household at:
http://www.ip.pt/~ip231870/HoL.htm

It includes a map of the Kingdom of Cragstan and the
surrounding area as well as important information for
anyone wishing to visit our territories in Cragstan and
western Cipheria.

Also, the market of the city of Darkbone[j80] in [bx14]
is now under House of Lords administration and HoL
trade laws apply to its full extent. Politcal control is
still mantained by the Southwest Tollus Company. Only
matters regarding strictly to trade are under our
administration. Traders currently trading there or planning
to should contact an HoL representative at their earliest
convinience.

Live long and prosper,
Lord Ralek Arkham
Speaker for the House of Lords
Kingdom of Cragstan

Official Statement of the Lords of the Crown,
Last turn, several of our ships were razed by BORG
mercenary forces. The BORG claim to have been
hired by the Rimmon Musketeers to
"run a naval harrasment campaign against the LotC".
Since the BORG seem determined to continue
this campaign, we see no other option the to declare
war on the BORG and try to stop them from
harming us in any way.
This is the second time we have to declare war on
Jheremai the Scarlet, the first time they claimed to
support the Horselord in his 'ghazi' and now it is
because they are hired by the Musketeers.
Everyone must understand that we will not tolerate
this and we will make sure there will never be
a third time.
So I would like to warn all people who are currently
working together with the BORG or at least in BORG
territory that from now on there is an official state
of war between the Lords and the BORG.

Just a reminder that the Brotherhood of the Red God is harrassing the Lord's
shipping and naval troop movements in the Camaris Straits.
All neutral ships in the waters between Camaris and Provinia east of
the 50 longtitude line running through Harn should contact us so you
are not caught up in this conflict. Any ships in these waters that
have not contacted us will be considered hostile till we have
determined otherwise.

We currently have Brothers in the Drassa region with
little to do. We are currently looking for contracts of any sort
(training, recruiting, raiding, patrol duty, etc) in this area or any
of the nearby islands. We have ship transport and don;t mind
travelling.

Please visit our web site at

May the Red God smile upon you.

Rumors

The following is an updated list of the major alliances active
in each of Olympia's twelve regions. This information has
been gleaned from the Times, the g2-list, alliance web pages,
and through submissions from various contributors.
Some of it may be seriously out of date. There may also
be any number of small groups or independents in most of
these regions.

Provinia - TIBs (Drassa), Rimmon Musketeers (Rimmon, Greyfell),
the Lords of the Crown (Yellowleaf, Harn), Tanstaafl
League (Harn), Bandits (Port Aurnos), the Jackal
Alliance (Port Aurnos)
Note: The Rimmon Musketeers are at war with the Lord of the
Crown. There has been conflict in Bandit territory
between the Bandits and the Southern Ossicus Alliance.
The Lords of the Crown are also at war with PLATO.

Camaris - Crimson Dragons, Republic of South Camaris, and PLATO
Note: The Lords of the Crown and PLATO are at war on Camaris.

Krussos - Krussos Federation
Note: The Krussos Federation have announced a policy
of attacking any unauthorized visitors to their
territory. The Northern Lights Alliance has disbanded
and reportedly either sold or gave their land to the
Krussos Federation.

Atala - The Atalan Confederation
Note: The Musketeers have apparently abandoned their holdings
on Atala.

Ormos - TIBs, Banquo's Ghost, and an unnamed group on the
western end.

Tollus - TIBs and the Southwest Tollus Company

Ferenth =96 Indications are that all of Ferenth is controlled by one
alliance or group of factions.

Atnos - The Greater Northern Atnos Traders and an unnamed
group on southern Atnos
Note: Conflict was reported between these two groups
in Times 88.

Camaris Island - PLATO
Note: The Lords of the Crown and PLATO are at war on Camaris.
The conflict may involve Camaris Island.

Well, I can't stop wondering... It seems that some people finally
learned
what mercenaries do... And other people understood what "You will be
attacked unless you contact us first" means...
Simple concepts CAN take some time to understand I reckon...
So what will be next? Will some people even manage to understand
that Olympia is just a game? And that being nice to other PLAYERS
(and I'm talking players here, NOT factions) doesn't hurt noone.
Nuff said for today,
The Sparrow (Noney, come quick, I think there is the first crack
in one of the eggs!!!)

My dog has got no nose.
How does it smell?
Awfull.

All animals are created equal!

Other peoples people are always more like peoples people in the end

I'm one of the leading architects of the british cheese revival.

Ooops, wrong Sparrow. Never mind.

I controll the Camaris straights. No! We control them!
Wrong again because I control them. No No No the mage
with the red hat who put up all the magical barriers
controls them. But don't tell King Oleg that.

The Camaris straights are for babies and woman. Real
men use Graveyards.

Oh, for a still. I could make my own scotch.

What to do, What to do? Might as well
enjoy some fishing while waiting for a
decision to be made.

Pig Foul will make a nice roast !!

Finally, the real Vulture is here

It seems PLATO is a lot stronger then we all
thought, could the combined forces of the Eagle
and those Dead Codrickers defeat the mighty
philosopher ?

As for Rimmon, it does not look very good, my
friends and I had a lot of work picking all
those bodies clean. Even after they withdrew
from their islands, they cannot find the
strength to strike a blow to those half-crazed
Codrickers.
I wonder how long it will take before one of
the Musketeers has had enough of his nobles
killed and decides he does not want to be in
the war anymore because it seems that the only
thing standing in the way of peace is Maltar's
wounded pride

What I do know is that Codric better return
fast because his army general has even a bigger
attitude problem then the big Sir himself.

the Vulture

The question is, when your breed a peasant and
a horse to get a Centaur, which one is male, the
horse or the peasant?
